Insomnia - early pregnancy symptom??

[MJM1608]

Hi MN friends x

I’m 9 dpo today and the past two nights I’ve had extreme insomnia. I’m usually a good sleeper and rarely wake during the night. The past two nights I’ve been awake from 3am until 6am / 2am last night & only dozed since. When I do sleep I have bizarre dreams. Tested with a FRER at 4am which was negative (I know it’s early).

Has anyone had this before as an early symptom? Does anyone have any advice for sleeping better? Hopefully get my BFP but even if I don’t, I’d love to sleep well tonight!! Thanks xxx

Yes I had this and very strange dreams xx

@Jen8888 thanks for your reply! Did you get a good nights sleep eventually? So tired 😂😂congratulations to you xx 🥳

I’m 9dpo and have been up from 2am the last 2 nights. I’m totally drained. I have tested and not even a faint anything.

@Icecreamsandwich2020 Me too, so awake but so exhausted at the same time!! Hopefully it’s a good sign for us both 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I feel different but not sure if it’s just because I’m knackered! Let me know how the next few days go! xx

Anyone else experienced this? xx

Yes! Usually my first symptom. Good luck!

Yes with my second, had disturbed sleep and woke up feeling anxious. This made me do a test and it was positive!

@Livingmagicallyagain @anascrecca - thank you ladies!! Really hope this is my month 🤞🏼☺️ Will let you know if I get my BFP, or at least a good nights sleep tonight!! xx

I have this now at 5 weeks. Difficult to say if i had it earlier as I was planning a wedding and got married 2 weeks ago (so around 9dpo) and wasn't sleeping anyway.

@PerfectPinecone awww congratulations on the pregnancy and wedding!! All the timing must have worked out well for you ☺️ Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy 🥰 xx

Thank you, yes it was a happy surprise as i managed to fall pregnant the first month and we weren't particularly trying very hard. I feel so blessed. I thought it would take us a long time as we have tried before and it ended up in doctors visits for infertility tests. We took time out for the wedding and to look after ourselves. I'm now hoping for a nice pregnancy.

@PerfectPinecone Aww lucky you - that’s brilliant! What a way to start married life! How many dpo were you when you got your BFP if you don’t mind me asking? Xx

@MJM1608
Not sure when I ovulated. I actually tested on cd19 and thought I saw a real squinter. Then tested on cd20 and cd21 and saw nothing so thought it wasn't my month. Forgot about it for the wedding and then came on holiday, whilst on holiday I was getting period like pains, sore breasts, feeling very tired and period hadn't turned up so took a test on cd33 and it was a clear positive. I got a second test to test the next morning as I didn't believe it. Have attached a pic of the tests

@PerfectPinecone Aww that’s a lovely surprise!! Wishing you the best of luck ☺️ Xx

@MJM1608 thank you. You too 🙂

Yup, insomnia from 8DPO and got my faint BFP at 10DPO.. now 9 weeks pregnant 🥰

@Littlebee1990 glad the pregnancy is going well!! Have seen your comments on a few threads & good to see it’s progressing nicely 😊 I only had two nights insomnia, now I’m back to no symptoms :( tested 9/10/11dpo and BNF sadly. Not testing for the next few days as it leaves me so disappointed! Had an early miscarriage last month but really thought this could be the month! You never know what could happen though...! Hope you’re sleeping better now 😘 xx

I’ve had bizarre dreams for a few days. Quidditch overnight (I’ve never been a Harry Potter fan) and a dog bite the night before. 9dpo bfn.

I always wake up super early in the first few weeks of pregnancy. This morning my eyes pinged upon at 5.30am so I thought it worth testing. Nothing. 11 dpo. In previous pregnancies it has been a v early sign along with snoring when I do sleep which never normally happens to me.

@NamechangeTTC @40PlusTTC it’s so frustrating isn’t it! I’m sleeping well now which makes me think it wasn’t a symptom at all & I wish the insomnia came back 😂 this TTC journey makes you crazy! Let me know how you ladies get on, wishing you luck xxx

Hi ladies, ive just found out im expecting my 1st. Im 7+2 just now. My sleeping for the last week has been horrendous, im super tired and falling asleep in bed at around 8pm every night, sometimes earlier! Then waking up about midnight and thats me till 3-4am. Then im back up for 8.30. I am getting enough hours sleep obviously but its all broken and awful. Im ending up feeling completely lousy every day! Sending some baby dust to all you ttc ladies x
